Exercise Description

The preacher curl machine exercise builds bigger, stronger biceps with perfect isolation. The angled pad stops cheating and forces your biceps to do all the work.

How To

1. Adjust the preacher curl machine seat so your armpits sit at the top of the pad. 2. Grip the handles with an underhand grip, arms slightly bent. 3. Slowly curl the weight up by squeezing your biceps hard. 4. Pause at the top and feel the muscle contract fully. 5. Lower the weight slowly back to starting position on the preacher curl machine.

Form Tips

• Keep your wrists straight and strong throughout the preacher curl machine movement. • Never fully straighten your arms at the bottom to protect your elbows. • Focus on slow, controlled reps rather than heavy weight on the preacher curl machine. • Keep your core tight and don't lean back during the curl.

Common Mistakes

• Using too much weight and swinging your body to help lift on the preacher curl machine. • Letting the weight drop too fast instead of controlling the negative. • Fully extending arms at the bottom which can hurt your elbows during preacher curl machine exercises.
